Zachary Scott and Faye Emerson face 
an unseen danger in Warner Bros.’ 
gripping new melodrama, ‘Danger 
Signal,"" which arrives Friday at the 
Strand. Also featured in the film are 
Dick Erdman, Rosemary DeCamp and 
Bruce Bennett. 


Lipstick Smear 
Is Prop Problem 

In one scene of Warner Bros.’ 
“Danger Signal," now playing at 
the Strand, star Faye Emerson 
asks her young sister, Mona Free- 
man, to explain her smeared lip- 
stick. 

During the film's preduction, 
make-up experts tried and tried 
for an authentic kiss-smear effect. 
Zachary Scott, who co-stars with 
Faye Emerson in the film, and 
who is responsible, according to 
the plot, for the blur on Mona's 
enticing lips, finally suggested the 
real thing. He fcllowed the sug- 
gestion with action. 

In the film, as a result, Mona's 
lips are perfectly smeared.

life had centered on her mother (Mary Servoss) and her 
younger sister, Anne (Mona Freeman). Now, like a 
schoolgirl on a holiday, she falls in love with Ronnie, and 
he, always the opportunist, reciprocates. Carefully he 
shields from her family the fact that he is implicated in 


the death of another man’s wife. 


It is not long before Anne, a beautiful, gay-spirited 
youngster, becomes infatuated with Ronnie—and quick- 
ly closes her eyes to the knowledge that Hilda also is 
in love with him. Learning that Anne, not Hilda, is des- 
tined to inherit $25,000, Ronnie's platonic interest in 
Anne gives way to an insincere expression of love. Hilda 
discovers their sub rosa romance and also proof of Ron- 
nie's dishonesty. Turning against him, she orders him 
from the house. She is aghast, however, when she learns 
that Ronnie and Anne plan to marry.

the writer to the beach home of a friend (Rosemary

After he has eaten, Ronnie is told he has been poi-

Terror-stricken, afraid to die, he wanders out on the 
beach. He is pursued by a shadowy figure—whom he 
recognizes as the husband of the woman he killed. In a 
frantic effort to escape, he tumbles over a bluff to his 
death in the Pacific.

Warners’ ‘Danger Signal’ 


Absorbing Screen Drama 


(Prepared Review) 

All the craftsmanlike elements which, fused together, 
produce a superior, absorbing screen drama, are present 
in Warner Bros.’ “Danger Signal,’’ which opened last 
night at the Strand with a superb company of players 


headed by Faye Emerson and Zachary Scott. 


Phyllis 


Bottome’s best-selling novel has, with typical Warner 
Bros. skill and thoroughness, been transformed into an 
extraordinarily adept, deeply moving film. The famous 
Warner way, bespeaking authenticity of approach and 
flawless handling of detail, is neatly demonstrated in the 
film, which was directed by Robert Florey under the 
production aegis of William Jacobs. 


Still 645-528 





Mat 204—30c 


Suave Zachary Scott and lovely Faye Emerson are co-starved in Warners’ 
gripping new meiodrama, “Danger Signal,’ which opened last evening at 
the Strand Theatre. Featured in the supporting cast are Dick Erdman, Rose- 
mary DeCamp, Bruce Bennett, Mona Freeman and John Ridgely. 








Indisputably Faye Emerson 
is a star of the first magnitude. 
This reviewer’s admiration for 
Miss Emerson as an actress of 
singular charm and persuasion, 
whose considerable talent has 
illuminated a score of cinema 
roles, becomes, on viewing War- 
ner Bros.’ absorbing ‘Danger 
Signal,” something more than 
a consistent satisfaction with 
the work of a _ conscientious, 
easy-to-behold young screen 
player. With “Danger Signal,” 
in which Miss Emerson shares 
top starring honors with the 
effective Zachary Scott, she 
joins the ranks of the screen 
“gvreats”’—and more power to 
her. To the role of Hilda Fen- 
church, public stenographer, 
Miss Emerson brings warmth 
and understanding, expertly 
shading the character of a good, 
perhaps typical young working 
woman, whose life is twisted by 
an insidious transmutation of 
human values: love turned to 
hate. Faye Emerson makes the 
part her own. 

But the triumph is not alone 
Miss Emerson’s. As the bland, 
insouciant Ronnie Marsh, con- 
summate heel, Zachary Scott 
gives new indication of the ar- 
tistry with which he is capable 
of investing a role; his skill at 
characterization, which first 
came to light when he recently 
made his screen debut as the 
suave and sinister killer of “The 
Mask of Dimitrios,’ far tran- 
scends the talents of the conven- 
tional leading man. Ronnie 
Marsh is no routine villain. No 
deep-dyed Legree, his color is 
rather mottled gray—and he is 
capable of genuine, if short- 
lived, good-guy exuberances. 
Thus, he is able to exercise an 
enormous attraction upon the 
otherwise sane, tempered and 
wise Hilda, whose white-collar 
existence has never known the 
likes of this smooth and hand- 


some gentleman author. But 
Ronnie Marsh, unknown to Hil- 
da, is fleeing a homicide, at- 
tempting, with Hilda’s unwit- 
ting connivance, to eliminate the 
traces of a sordid and incrimi- 
nating murder. 

Since the power of “Danger 
Signal” on the screen is inhe- 
rent in its deliniation of per- 
sonality and in the constantly 
shifting adjustments of human 
relatonships, no review could do 
it justice, no outline of its plot 
convey the full flavor of the 
picture. 

The story is taut and grip- 
ping in its unfolding. Demon- 
strated are the warmth and af- 
fection which Hilda, acted by 
Faye Emerson, cherishes upon 
her mother and upon Anne, her 
vivacious young sister; the dis- 
rupting effect which Ronnie 
Marsh exercises upon the even 
and happy tenor of Hilda’s life; 
the opportunist attempts of 
Marsh to snare the affection of 
Anne, upon learning that she 
is to come imminently into a 
fortune, and the resulting with- 
drawal of the attentions he had 
lavished on Hilda. ° 

The film’s just-right cast also 
includes Rosemary de Camp, 
who effectively essays here the 
role of a woman psychiatrist to 
whom the distraught Hilda 
turns for advice and guidance. 
Mona Freeman is always con- 
vincing as the beautiful, gay- 
spirited Anne, in whose eyes 
Ronnie can do no wrong. And 
in the role of Dr. Lang, Hilda’s 
sometime employer, Bruce Ben- 
nett adroitly sketches an intel- 
ligent, able and sincere man of 
science. 

Adapted by expert scripters 
Adele Commandini and Graham 
Baker, photographed by James 
Wong Howe, with a score by 
Adolph Deutsch, “Danger Sig- 
nal” is a Warner Bros. ten- 
strike, a winning motion picture. 


Gripping Drama 
Due At Strand 
Theatre Friday 


(Advance Theatre Story) 


Casting a searching light up- 
on the shadowy recesses of a 
woman’s mind and heart, “Dan- 
ger Signal,” which comes to the 
Strand on Friday, is the dra- 
matic story of a love which 
knew no limits—until it was be- 
trayed. Phyllis Bottome’s best- 
selling novel of the same name, 
from which the film was adapt- 
ed, was distinguished for its 
deep and accurate understand- 
ing of human relationships and 
weaknesses, highlighting the 
greatest decision which a wom- 
an in love could ever be forced 
to make. 


Features New Stars 


Co-starring Faye Emerson 
and Zachary Scott, important 
new stars, “Danger Signal’ re- 
counts, with power and sym- 
pathy, the adventures of Hilda 
Fenchurch (Faye Emerson), a 
capable, intelligent young sten- 
ographer, whose’ white-collar 
routine was shattered one day 
when Ronnie Marsh (Zachary 
Scott) intruded upon her ca- 
reer, twisting and_ shattering 
not only her own life but cast- 
ing also an indelible stamp upon 
her family, her friends—every- 
one and everything she held 
dear. 

Ronnie Marsh is no ordinary 
villain. Suave, self - assured, 
outwardly gracious and even 
gentle, it is his great fortune to 
find refuge with the Fenchurch 
family, mother and daughters 
Hilda and Anne (Mona Free- 
man). For, as a lodger in Hil- 
da’s home, he can take on the 
protective coloration of these 
good and kindly people and find 
relief from the pressing de- 
mands of his own conscience. 
Ronnie, the master opportunist, 
finds in Hilda’s love, comfort, 
which, like a blanket, will shel- 
ter him from the incriminating 
knowledge of his responsibility 
for the death of another man’s 
wife. Small-town reared Hilda, 
for all her good sense, cannot 
help but be impressed by the 
much-traveled, seemingly guile- 
less Ronnie, a writer who has 
come to her town for reasons 
which he cannot clearly define, 
but which, for Hilda, blinded 
by love, seem sufficient and 
clear. 


Painful Awakening 


The film’s dramatic impetus 
derives from Hilda’s passionate 
conviction of Ronnie’s goodness, 
her slow, painful awakening 
when the disillusioning disclos- 
ure of his growing attentions 
to her young, gay-spirited sis- 
ter, Anne, is made known to 
her. Bitterly she forces her- 
self to realize that Ronnie’s af- 
fection for Anne is as spurious 
and deliberate as the love which 
he had lavished, short days be- 
fore, on her. The impetuous 
Anne refuses to believe that 
Ronnie’s interest in her has 
been induced by the inheritance 
to which she will shortly fall 
heir. Even Mrs. Fenchurch, 
the girl’s mother, is taken in 
by the bland, convincing rascal. 
Hilda must fight it alone. And 
so the stage is set for as dra- 
matic and absorbing a story of 
frustration, revenge and sacri- 
fice as ever the screen offered. 

“Danger Signal,” starring 
Faye Emerson and Zachary 
Scott, was directed by Robert 
Florey for producer William 
Jacobs. In support of Miss 
Emerson and Mr. Scott are Dick 
Erdman, Rosemary DeCamp, 
Bruce Bennett, Mona Freeman 
and John Ridgely. Scenarists 
Adele Commandini and Graham 
Baker wrote the screenplay, 
which is based on the Phyllis 
Bottome novel. Photographed 
by James Wong Howe, “Danger 
Signal” has an original score 
by Adolph Deutsch.

Nei Warner Drama Now 
Playing At Strand Theatre 


(Current Theatre ‘Story) 


Intensely dramatic, always 
believable, “Danger Signal,” 
currently at the Strand, was 
courageously produced by War- 
ner Bros. to demonstrate once 
more that in the hands of Amer- 
ica’s hardest-hitting studio, an 
exciting best-seller can become 
a great motion picture. Phyllis 
Bottome’s remarkable and accu- 
rate exploration of the life of 
a young woman for whom love’s 
disrupting influence brought 
misery and heartbreak, turning 
a sun-bright romance into a 
near-tragedy, has been moving- 
ly screened by Warner Bros. 
with a cast assembled with 
painstaking care to insure the 
greatest fidelity to the charac- 
ters of the printed page. 

As Hilda Fenchurch, young 
and attractive public stenog- 
rapher, around whom the ac- 
tion of the drama is centered, 
Faye Emerson demonstrates a 
talent and conviction which 
more than justify her recent 
studio promotion to the coveted 
rank of “star.” Sympathetic- 
ally, adroitly, Miss Emerson de- 
fines the personality of Hilda, 
the principal concern of whose 
small-town existence is her 
mother and younger sister. Self- 
lessly, understandingly, Hilda 
devotes herself to these two, 
cherishing upon them the affec- 
tion of a kind and intelligent 
woman. 


Co-Stars Scott 


“Danger Signal” offers, in the 
co-starring role of Ronnie 
Marsh, the rocketing Zachary 
Scott, whose exciting screen de- 
but in the recent and eventful 
“The Mask of Dimitrios” im- 
mediately established him as an 
actor of great and fine prom- 
ise. As Ronnie, the suave, bland 
sophisticate, product of a liter- 
ary background, who combines 
a polished charm with a flair 
for homicide, his influence upon 
Hilda is immediate and _ pro- 
nounced. The usually sensible 
Hilda falls violently and fool- 
ishly in love with the hand- 
some writer, who has_ taken 
lodgings in her home. Unknown 
to Hilda, and certainly unknown 
to her mother and sister, Ronnie 
has been implicated in the death 
of another man’s wife. For 
Ronnie, artful, suave, and not 
ungracious, Hilda and Hilda’s 
family serve to provide the ha- 
ven he desperately requires. 
Therefore he encourages Hilda’s 
attentions. 

No more penetrating demon- 


stration of the romantic tri- 
angle, with its hate-engender- 
ing connotations, can be imag- 
ined than one which involves 
sisters competing for the affec- 
tion of the same man. ‘“Dan- 
ger Signal” explores the im- 
plications of just such a situa- 
tion, for the unscrupulous Ron- 
nie turns from Hilda to Anne 
(Mona Freeman), her pretty 
vivacious young’ sister, when he 
learns that she (Anne) is short- 
ty toe come into an inheritance, 
a small fortune. Anne and 
Ronnie enlist the sympathy of 
Mrs. Fenchurch (Mary Ser- 
voss), the girls’ mother, and 
since Hilda’s love for Ronnie 
has turned to ashes in her 
mouth, she is determined to ex- 
pose him for the rogue he is 
and, if necessary, to destroy 
him.

jective Burma,” also Rosemary 
DeCamp, Bruce Bennett and

Attractive Warner star Faye Emerson, remembered for her fine perform- 
ances in "Hotel Berlin'' and "The Very Thought Of You," is cast as a woman 
of dangerous moods in Warner Bros.’ new psychological drama, "Danger 
Signal," which opens tonight at the Strand Theatre. Zachary Scott is co- 


starred. 





Faye attended schools in all 
these states, winding up her 
scholastic efforts at Point Loma 
High School near San Diego, 
and at San Diego State College. 

In high school she centered 
her activities around sports, 
mainly baseball and basketball. 
The brightest moment during 
these tender years was being se- 
lected by the senior class as the 
most vivacious freshman, which 
gave her the envied role of 
school cheer leader. She went 
on to college and grabbed off an- 
other honor, that of song lead- 
er. 
In high school she met Wil- 
liam Emory Shepard, head of 
the drama institute at Point 
Loma. This man, whom she 
credits with giving her her 
first stage opportunity, took her 
in hand and personally steered 
her through her first roles on 
the stage. 

In high school, college, and 
later at the San Diego Com- 
munity Theatre and St. James 
Repertory Theatre in Carmel, 
Faye played many roles. Her 
more important parts were Mary 
in “Here Today,’ Katherine in 
Shakespeare’s “Taming of the 
Shrew,” Kay in “Russet Man- 
tle,’ Titania in “A Midsum- 
mer Night’s Dream,” the lead 
in “Holiday,” Sorel in Coward’s 
“Hay Fever,” various roles in 
“Tonight at 8:30,” and the 
Duchess in “The Firebrand.” 

The actress was spotted in 
“Here Today” in San Diego by 
Warner Bros.’ talent scout, Sol- 
ly Baiano, and he and Steve 
Trilling, assistant to Jack L. 
Warner, gave Faye her first 
screen opportunity. 

There are no other theatrical 
people in the Emerson clan. 
Faye’s father, Lawrence Leon 
Emerson, is a rancher in New 
Mexico. Her mother, now Mrs. 
Joan Young, resides in San 
Diego. Faye’s three brothers 
and two sisters are scattered 
across the continent. 

Faye feels it is significant of 
something-or-other (she can’t 
decide just what) that her first 
play was a religious one, “Saint 


Cecilia,” while her film debut 
was made in a rootin’, tootin’ 
shootin’ Western epic, ‘Bad 
Man of Missouri.” 

Her favorite stage role is 
Katherine in “The Taming of 
the Shrew.” Maxine, the ac- 
tress, in “Between Two Worlds,” 
a recent Warner Bros. film, is 
her favorite screen role. 

Greta Garbo, Bette Davis and 
Margaret Sullavan rank high on 
her personal hit parade. Ron- 
ald Colman, Cary Grant and 
Humphrey Bogart are her fa- 
vorite actors. 

Interested in all the arts, 
Faye especially likes the ballet 
and all types of music. Her col- 
lection of popular and sym- 
phonic albums is reminiscent of 
a well-stocked record shop. 

She paints and sketches ex- 
tremely well, and is extremely 
proud of a self-portrait she did 
a couple of years back and 
then gave away to someone who 
admired it. 

She dances a little, but can’t 
sing a note, and consistently 
muffs “chopsticks” on the pi- 
ano. 

She has already visited Can- 
ada and Mexico, and prefers the 
latter country. She _ sincerely 
admires and likes the Mexican 
people, understands them, and 
speaks their language. 

The actress would like to be 
a writer, too, having done some 
newspaper work in college. She’d 
haunt editorial rooms for a job 
if she didn’t have a Warner 
Bros. contract. 

Faye has no pet economies, 
and lists as her favorite extrava- 
gance buying hats, which she 
never wears. 

A non-dieter, Faye controls 
her weight by eating sensibly. 
She’s not interested in food, 
particularly, and has no favor- 
ite dishes. 

Her peaches-and-cream com- 
plexion is due to her sticking 
only to lipstick for daytime 
makeup and using baby oil on 
her face and neck at night. 

She can cook, but doesn’t. 
She likes to swim, ride horse- 
back and _ bicyele. 


On The Lot 


with 


‘DANGER SIGNAL’ 


“Danger Signal,” Warner Bros.” exciting new drama 
currently at the Strand, is based on Phyllis Bottome’s 
best-selling novel of the same name which was a 
piercing study of a woman caught in an almost lethal 


web of love.

Although Faye Emerson and Zachary Scott are 
co-starred for the first time in Warners’ ‘Danger 
Signal,’ an absorbing psychological study of a 
woman in love, this is not their first screen appear- 
ance together. They played opposite each other 
in the recent ''The Mask Of Dimitrios."

“Danger Signal,” now at the Strand Theatre, was 
produced for Warner Bros. by William Jacobs, and 
directed by Robert Florey who reached a new high 
with this, his sixtieth screen directorial effort. The 
film stars Faye Emerson and Zachary Scott and has a 
supporting cast which includes Dick Erdman, Rose- 
mary De Camp, Bruce Bennett, Mona Freeman and 
John Ridgely.

For Rosemary De Camp, whose role in “Danger 
Signal” is that of a psychiatrist, the film represents her 
first chance in a long time to appear as a smartly 
groomed, prosperous, sophisticated young woman. 
She enjoyed the role immensely, as a result of having 
done so many older-women characterizations for so 
long.

Bruce Bennett, cast as a science teacher in the film, 
had little difficulty with his portrayal of an absent- 
minded professor. He modeled himself after his 
brother, a professor at a northern university.

During the filming of “Danger Signal,” director Rob- 
ert Florey, a native of France, was advised that his 
French publishers, whose activities had been halted 
by Nazi occupation of France, were bringing out his 
book, “History of the American Movies.” They had 
received the manuscript one week before the Nazis 
took over.

A tobogganing accident shortly after production 
of Warners’ ‘Danger Signal'’ had been launched, 
resulted in a broken back for Ann Blyth who had 
been scheduled to play the role of star Faye Emer-

Freeman.

Joyce Compton, who plays the role of assistant to

She sold a set of her hand-painted china to the studio 
for use in a dinner scene.

The appearance of Mona Freeman, who plays the 
role of Faye Emerson's young sister in ''Danger 
Signal," on the Warner Bros. lot, attracted several 
of the young, unattached male players at the 
studio, who beat a path daily to the stage on 
which she was at work. One of her most ardent 
fans’ was Bob Arthur who made his initial screen 
appearance in the recent ''Roughly Speaking."

During the picture’s filming, Faye Emerson showed

A volley ball had hit her while she was playing at the 
Beach Club the preceding afternoon. Her co-star, 
Zachary Scott, was also on the production’s sick list

Both hands were badly cut.

Zachary Scott 
Is Texas-Born 


And B’way Bred 


Texas-born and Texas-edu- 
cated, Zachary Scott belongs to 
the ever-growing group of Hol- 
lywood film stars who got their 
dramatic training on the New 
York stage. 


Stage Discovery 


He was signed to a Warner 
Bros. contract after Jack L. 
Warner, executive producer, 
saw him in Edward Chodorov’s 
“Those Endearing Young 
Charms,” and is currently co- 
starring with Faye Emerson in 
“Danger Signal” at the Strand. 

His first picture was “The 
Mask Of Dimitrios,” which was 
followed by an appearance in 
“Mildred Pierce.” 

Scott was born in Austin, 
Texas, the son of Dr. and Mrs. 
Z. T. Scott. His father is a sur- 
geon. He attended public schools 
in Austin, and also the Univer- 
sity of Texas, from which he 
obtained a bachelor of arts de- 
gree.

Zachary Scott, whe recently scored a 
tremendous personal success in "Mil- 
dred Pierce,’ plays another type of 
menace in Warners’ "Danger Signal," 
currently at the Strand. Co-starred 
in the film is Faye Emerson. 


In 1935, after appearing on 
the English stage, he married 
a former schoolmate, Elaine An- 
derson. They are parents of a 
daughter, Waverly, born in 1937. 

Scott, after three years in 
college, went to England and 
from Gerrard Neville of the 
English Repertory Company 
(London) wangled the juvenile 
role in “The Outsider.” He re- 
mained abroad one year. 

Upon his return from Eng- 
land he married, went east, met 
with no luck in the theatre, then 
returned to Texas, went back to 
college and got his degree. 

With the sheepskin tucked 
away in the bottom of a trunk 
he and his wife again went east. 
This time luck favored him. He 
got a part in summer stock, 
thanks to Alfred Lunt and Rich- 
ard Whorf. The role was that 
of an elderly butler in a Jane 
Cowl vehicle, “Easy Virtue.” 
Scott credits Miss Cowl with 
giving him much-needed encour- 
agement. 

Three years of stock followed 
before he cracked Broadway. 
He has appeared in the follow- 
ing plays: “Circle of Chalk,” 
with Dolly Haas; the _ short- 
lived “The Damask Cheek” with 
Flora Robson; “The Rock,’ 
with Billie Burke, and in the 
afore-mentioned Edward Chodo- 
rov play, opposite Virginia Gil- 
more. 





Zachary Scott, Faye Emerson, Fresh Eggs 
Tangle In Bitter Warfare On Studio Set 


For two days Faye Emerson, star of Warner Bros.’ Danger Signal,'' 
currently at the Strand, refused to speak to Zachary Scott, co-star. 
That is, except for the repetition of a short sentence muttered with 


grim purpose. 


The rift in normally excellent relations occurred when Mr. Scott 
brought a dozen large fresh eggs for the star after she'd complained of 


the current shortage. 


Miss Emerson insisted on paying for them, but not having the 


necessary change, asked him to remind her the next day. 


Mr. Scott 


refused to remind anyone of such a small sum. She explained at length 
that she could remember a large debt, but never a small one, that 
she probably still owes a score of dimes and quarters borrowed from 


college friends. 


Mr. Scott still refused to remind her. 

Miss Emerson vowed to remember this one all by herself. But two 
days passed before she remembered to bring the change. 

"| owe you fifty cents. | owe you fifty cents,’ she murmured to 


her leading man when they met. 
For two days. 





Bruce Bennett Ex-Member 


Of U. S. Olympic Team 


Bruce Bennett is a big fellow, 
standing 6 feet, 2 inches in his 
bare feet, who describes him- 
self as ‘a swell dish and diaper 
washer and a fair cook.” 

He is also an experienced and 
promising young actor, just 
signed to a long term Warner 
Bros. contract, and is currently 
to be seen in that studio’s Faye 
Emerson-Zachary Scott starring 
film, “Danger Signal,’ now at 
the Strand. 


Tacoma Born 


Bennett was born in Tacoma, 
Washington, May 19, 1909, and 
attended both grade and high 
school in that city. He holds a 
B.A. degree from the Univer- 
sity of Washington where he 
took part in amateur theatri- 
cals and was particularly promi- 
nent in athletics. His father 
was a lumberman in Washing- 
ton, also a farmer and, at one 
time, a preacher there. He 
died just about the time his ac- 
tor son joined forces with War- 
ner Bros. The young man’s 
mother is living, as are two 
brothers and two married sis- 
ters. 

At thirteen Bruce Bennett, 
who had been slated to become 
a lumberman like his father, de- 
cided for himself that he liked 
singing and acting better than 
the sawmill. A season in which 
he worked with the late impres- 
ario Max Reinhardt in the lat- 
ter’s production of “Too Many 
Husbands,” clinched this am- 
bition and turned it into deter- 
mination. He played, he says, 
the husband who was “one too 
many.” 


Married Man 


In his personal life, however, 
he has been a successful hus- 
band for several years and has 
one daughter named Christina 
who is responsible for his abil- 
ity with diapers. He likes to 
make furniture, collects stamps 
and first editions, and has trav- 
eled widely over most of the 
world. 

Bruce was introduced to mo- 
tion picture work at the instance 
of the late Douglas Fairbanks, 
Sr., and his first role was that 
of Tarzan in an ill-fated pro- 
duction that was filmed in Gua- 
temala. The picture was suc- 
cessful in England and in some 
other foreign countries as well 
as in parts of the United States, 
he says, but was never shown 
in the Hollywood vicinity. What 
Bennett got out of it, besides 
experience, was a tropical ail- 
ment which made him ineligible 
for any kind of military or na- 
val service. It has also made 
him ineligible for cocktail par- 
ties or Hollywood night life— 
which he consequently knows 
little or nothing about. 

Still athletic in a fashion, 
however, he plays tennis, golf 
and badminton and likes to 
swim. As Herman Brix, his 


real name, he was a member of 
the American Olympic team 
which went to the games at Am- 
sterdam, Holland, and he held 
the shot put championship in 
the U.S. A. from 1928 to 1932. 
In college, he won rating as an 
All - American football player. 

All of that, he suggests, was a 
long time ago and far away 
from his present ambition to 
make an important place for 
himself in motion pictures. He 
has had some _ preliminary 
training as an actor with Co- 
lumbia studios, where he has 
appeared as leading man, the 
love interest, and as the hard- 
boiled companion to Humphrey 
Bogart in “Sahara.” 

His friends, like his wife, who 
was Jeannette Braddock, he 
says, are mostly non-profession- 
al. In between his athletic days 
and his acting days, Bennett 
has been at various times a log- 
ger, a sawmill employee, worked 
with oil well equipment and has 
sold bonds and insurance. From 
such a wealth of experience he 
is sure that he is on the right 
road at last; that he wants more 
than anything else to make good 
as a Warner Bros. actor. 


Dick Erdman Reveals 
His Future Aspirations 


Dick Erdman, currently fea- 
tured in Warners’ “Danger Sig- 
nal” at the Strand, was born 
John Richard Erdman on June 
1, 1925, and wasted no time 
sticking his youthful thumb into 
the theatrical pie. At the ten- 
der age of five he emoted in 
amateur productions, but when 
old demon education reared its 
scholarly head, he dutifully 
skipped off to school. 

When his 
mother moved to 
Hollywood, Dick 
naturally tag- 
ged along. He 
continued his 
studies at Hol- 
ly wood High 
School, took up 
newspaper dis- 
tribution, gar- 
dening, airplane 
modeling on the 
side. But he 
: didn’t neglect 

Dick Erdman = yi stage ambi- 
tions. He played any number 
of roles in high school plays, 
among them Puck in “A Mid- 
summer Night’s Dream,” Dick 
in “Ah, Wilderness!” and Ra- 
geneau in “Cyrano de Bergerac” 
—his favorite. 

It was while he was doing 
Cyrano that he met Albert 
Band, film cutter at Warner 
Bros., who was impressed with 
the boy’s ability. Band recom- 
mended him for a _ role in 
“Janie,” which was being pre- 
pared at that time by Alex 
Gottlieb at Warners. Gottlieb 
interviewed Dick, was equally 
impressed, and asked Sophie 
Rosenstein, dramatic coach at 
the studio, to direct a test. It 
clicked, and Dick was _ signed 
to play Skipper Nolan. 

Young Erdman wants to be- 
come a great screen comedian. 
He wants to write, too. His 
father was an excellent pianist, 
so Dick is taking lessons. He 
loves to read. His favorite 
books—weighty tomes for one 
so young — include Tolstoy’s 
“War and Peace,” Anatole 
France’s “Revolt of the Angels,” 
“Dead Souls,” by Nikolai Go-

gol and anything by Noel Cow- 
ard. 

In high school he went in for 
tennis, golf, and basketball. His 
tennis is still good, and he 
shoots only 8 over par on 18 
holes of golf. He’s a gin rummy 
addict. He doesn’t care much 
for prize fights. His pet aver- 
sions are bad popular music, 
phonys, and loud people. He 
has absolutely no superstitions 
at all, and, unlike most actors, 
doesn’t even tote a good luck 
charm. 


Says He Diets 


He says he diets, but when 
you come right down to it, all 
he actually does is avoid candy. 
He puts chicken and mushrooms 
on his hit parade. His favor- 
ite flower is the rose, and he 
goes for blue in a big way. He’d 
like to visit Paris and London 
because of their romantic his- 
tories, and because of the Brit- 
ish Museum and the Louvre and 
tHe art treasures they house. 

Though 100% American (he 
was born in Enid, Oklahoma), 
his taste in actors is strictly 
British. He’ll go to see any- 
thing that has Robert Donat, 
Vivian Leigh, or Charles Laugh- 
ton in the cast. He sings, 
dances, writes, hunts, and fishes. 
He reads incessantly. He cooks, 
he collects records and tries to 
save money. 

Co-starred in “Danger Sig- 
nal” are Faye Emerson and 
Zachary Scott, with other fea- 
tured roles portrayed by Rose- 
mary DeCamp, Bruce Bennett, 
Mona Freeman and _ John 
Ridgely. 


Zachary Scott 
Finds Hollywood 
A Living Death 


Zachary Scott is beginning to 
wonder what it is like to go into 
a motion picture and come out 
of it—alive. 

Some folks, like Errol Flynn, 
have gotten off to a fairly good 
cinematic start by appearing as 
a corpse. 

But Zach seems to be in a 
niche all by himself—he is the 
dying kind. 

So far he hasn’t made a film 
for Warner Bros. in which he 
doesn’t wind up as dead as the 
proverbial doorbell before the 
final reel is unwound. 

“One of these days, though,” 
he says optimistically, “I’ll come 
out of the thing alive. It’ll be a 
rare experience for me.” 





Takes Count Again 


Currently he is co-starring 
with Faye Emerson in “Dan- 
ger Signal,” a new psychologi- 
cal drama which opens Friday 
at the Strand. If, in this pic- 
ture, he did not become a phi- 
landerer, playing with the heart 
of a pretty young girl, he might 
not feel the impact of another 
death agony. 

But he does a bit of philan- 
dering, and in time Death’s 
hand strikes him down. 

In “Mildred Pierce,’ he paid 
with his life for similarly toy- 
ing with romance. Ann Blyth 
didn’t like it. She showed her 
dislike by using a gun. 

In “The Mask Of Dimitrios,” 
he was also cast as the heavy, 
and after he had executed a few 
unsavory deeds, Sydney Green- 
street shot him to death. 

There should be some sort of 
moral to this story about Zach 
and his unusual experience in 
the matter of casting. 

Perhaps it is this: if you can 
do a smooth bit of dying toward 
the end of a picture, there’s a 
place for you in Hollywood. 

Zach has proved it.

Mat 202—30c 


Mary Servoss, Zachary Scott and Faye Emerson artfully shield their true 
emotions in the above scene from Warner Bros.’ exciting new melodrama, 
“Danger Signal," which arrives on Friday at the Strand. Dick Erdman, Rose- 
mary DeCamp, Bruce Bennett, Mona Freeman and John Ridgely are featured 


in the film's supporting cast. 





Rosemary DeCamp Begins 
Career As Easter Bunny 


From Easter bunny to octo- 
genarian to Hollywood glamor 
girl may sound like the formula 
for some Saroyan whimsy—but 
it has worked out very well 
for Rosemary DeCamp, Warner 
Bros. contract actress, current- 
ly featured in that studio’s 
Faye Emerson- Zachary Scott 
starring film, “Danger Signal,” 
now at the Strand. 

Yes, Miss DeCamp started out 
as an actress in the rather un- 
pretentiously histrionic role of 
a rabbit in an Easter play at 
grammar school in her home 
town of Prescott, Arizona. — 

She was twelve at the time, 
and within another twelve years, 
she was playing wrinkled old 
matrons in pictures including 
“Yankee Doodle Dandy,” ‘‘Rhap- 
sody In Blue,’ and “This Is 

The Army.” 


Then she 
found herself 
‘ suddenly going 
> glamorous, in 
roles for ‘Pride 
of the Marines,” 
in which she is 
featured with 
John Garfield 
and Eleanor 
Parker; ‘Blood 
on the Sun” and 
the forthcoming 

Mat 107—I5¢ «Weekend at the 
Rosemary DeCamp Waldorf.” 

Between, as well as during, 
these transitions she has been 
a busy girl. 

At fourteen, she turned down 
a contract with the Martha Oat- 
man stock company in Los An- 
geles after a scout saw her per- 
form in a “little” theatre pro- 
duction in Phoenix, on the prom- 
ise to her parents to complete 
her education before starting 
professionally behind the foot- 
lights. 

She went to 
Mills College, 
where she _ re- 
ceived both a 
B.A. and Mas- 
ters degree in 
dramatics, and 
at the age of 21 
was retained on 
the campus as 
professor in 





that field. 

Later, there 

was a succession Mat 102—15c

then a cross-country tour in a 
revival of “The Drunkard.” 
She arrived in New York and 
variously understudied for Sam 
Harris’ ‘Merrily We Roll 
Along,” wrote drama _ reviews 
for the Morning Telegraph, ap- 
peared in stock, and got into 
radio doing everything from 
young boys to old matriarchs. 

Her first screen break devel- 
oped when Martha Scott per- 
suaded the producers of “Cheers 
for Miss Bishop” to let her play 
the immigrant kid who recited 
the Declaration of Independence. 

The ages of the characters she 
played in her next nine pic- 
tures reached an aggregate of 
762 years. 

She has apparently, however, 
been successful, at long last, in 
persuading the casting director 
to let her leave her wrinkles in 
her makeup box. 

Married to John Shidler, Cali- 
fornia’s youngest jurist before 
his entry into the Air Forces, 
in which he is now serving as a 
sergeant, Rosemary DeCamp 
has one child, Nana, born in 
1942, 

Her father’s business, that of 
a mining engineer, took her with 
the family from Prescott to New 
York City; Piedmont, Califor- 
nia; Santiago, Chile; and nu- 
merous other places. 





Zachary Scott Takes 
Injury In Stride 


There are times during the 
production of a film when such a 
thing as a sprained ankle or other 
injury incurred by a star causes 
considerable delay or forces a 
director to shoot around the in- 
jured star until he is able to re- 
sume work. But when Zachary 
Scott slipped on the stairs of his 
home after the first day's shooting 
of Warner Bros.’ "Danger Signal," 
the exciting new drama now at 
the Strand, and wrenched his left 
knee, production was unhampered. 
As a matter of fact, painful as 
the injury was, it helped Zachary. 
The script called for him to limp 
through the scenes. 

Co-starred with Scott in the 
psychological thriller which was 
adapted from Phyllis Bottome's 


novel of the same name is Faye 
Emerson. 





Co-Star Reminds 
Actress Of Dad 


Faye Emerson received an 
emphatic shock when she first 
met Zachary Scott, with whom 
she co-stars in “Danger Signal,” 
now at the Strand. 

“T remember,” she _ recalls, 
“when I first saw him. It was 
on the Warner lot, right after 
he had come out from New 
York. 

“I’ve often wondered just 
what he thought of me_ be- 
cause my first reaction was to 
stare at him. And stare I did! 
But I couldn’t help it. He look- 
ed so much like my Dad used to 
look when I was a little girl. It 
was something of a shock, and 
I could hardly take my eyes off 
him.” 

That being the case, Faye’s 
father must have been a hand- 
some young man, for Zachary 
is a six-footer, with dark brown 
eyes and the same color hair, 
and he tips the scales for an 
even one hundred and seventy 
pounds. 

Faye’s father, Lawrence Leon 
Emerson, is now a rancher in 
New Mexico, not far from 
Zachary’s native Texas.

Faye Emerson, attractive Warner star,

Late Call Gives 
Actress Hit Role 


In Hollywood from time to 
time there is new evidence that 
one’s bad luck is another’s good 
fortune. 

Right now there’s a perfect 
example of this refiected in the 
cast of the new Faye Emerson- 
Zachary Scott starring film, 
Warners’ “Danger Signal,” now 
at the Strand. 

Petite Ann Blyth had been 
scheduled to do the role of 
Faye’s sister. But shortly af- 
ter production was launched, 
Ann injured her back in a to- 
bogganing accident. 

Ann’s bad luck was Mona 
Freeman’s good fortune. The 
youthful player was quickly bor- 
rowed from another studio to 
step into the role which Ann had 
to forego. 

Currently at Warners, an- 
other newcomer is playing op- 
posite Dennis Morgan in the 
soon-to-be-released “The Time, 
The Place and The Girl.” She 
is Martha Vickers, and she got 
her break in this Technicolor 
musical because virus pneumo- 
nia prevented Jane Wyman 
from doing the role. 

There are many other such 
examples, too numerous to de- 
tail, all of which prove that it 
definitely is an ill wind that 
blows nobody good.

Zachary Scott Regular 
Dr. Jekyll—Mr. Hyde 


Zachary Scott, judging from 
his current film roles and his 
real life, is Hollywood’s newest 
and strongest Dr. Jekyll and 
Mr. Hyde. 

His is a double life—the kind 
spelled with a capital D and 
a capital L. When he leaves 
home for work he puts on a 
mask. And he wears it well. 

Possibly nowhere in the film 
city can an actor be found who, 
at home, is actually more un- 
like the roles he plays on the 
screen. 

But Scott doesn’t mind. At 
least, he’s not minding now, al- 
though someday he may rise up 
to demand a sympathetic or com- 
ic role. 

Currently the actor is co-star- 
ring with Faye Emerson in 
Warner Bros.’ exciting film 
adaptation of the Phyllis Bot- 


. tome best-seller, “Danger Sig- 


nal,” at the Strand. 

In that story he is, in the par- 
lance of the times, a heel, a das- 
tardly fellow to whom murder is 
apparently all right if the de- 
sired end is reached. 

In the recent “The Mask Of 
Dimitrios,” he also was cast as 
something a few shades darker

than a mere cad; and in the 
current Joan Crawford vehicle, 
“Mildred Pierce,’ he was simi- 
larly cast. 

Zachary Scott, once out of 
the camera’s range, is the an- 
tithesis of all that he is when 
in front of the camera. There 
is nothing sinister nor unsavory 
about his character. On the con- 
trary, he is one of filmland’s 
most personable young men. 

The son of a surgeon, Dr. 
Zachary Scott, Sr., of Austin, 
Texas, he came to Hollywood 
from that Texas city via Lon- 
don and New York where he 
picked up considerably more 
than a modicum of success. He 
picked it up where the picking 
is good—on the stage. 

Three weeks after leaving 
school, he worked his way to 
England aboard a freighter and 
within a few days had wangled 
from Gerrard Neville the lead- 
ing juvenile role in the English 
Repertory Company’s “The Out- 
sider.” He remained in Eng- 
land a year, doing roles in 
twenty plays. 

He returned chiefly to marry 
a girl to whom he proposed by 
mail. She was Elaine Ander- 
son, a former schoolmate. They 
were married in 1935 and two 
years later became the parents 
of a daughter, Waverly. 

It is to these two—Elaine and 
Waverly—that Zach rushes af- 
ter a day’s work at the studio. 
With them, he enjoys to the full 
the pleasures of home and fire- 
side. It is with them that he is 
a character distinctly opposite 
those sinister fellows he por- 
trays on the screen. 

“l’m just an ordinary, home- 
and-family-loving guy,’ is the 
way Zach describes his real 
self. And the description, he 
hopes, will enable him one day 
to be cast in a role in which 
he can be just a regular fellow: 


Actress Upped From 
Nurse To Doctor 


Rosemary De Camp, who played 
the important nurse's rele in the 
John Garfield-Eleanor Parker star- 
ring film, "Pride Of The Marines," 
was given a professional boost at 
Warner Bros., when she was pro- 
moted to a screen doctor fer 
“Danger Signal,’ the psychologi- 
cal drama starring Faye Emerson 
and Zachary Scott, which opens 
Friday at the Strand.

swers. Your lead story follows: 


Can You Spot A 
Danger Signal? 
If So, Read On! 


Are you one of those lucky 
people who can scent danger a 
long way off and get out of the 
way of trouble? Congratula- 
tions, if you are! Because this 
contest should be swell fun for 
you and simple to figure out, 
too! And, as an added incentive, 
there are guest seats to the win- 
ners for the local premiere of 
Warners’ exciting new dramatic 
hit, “Danger Signal,” which 
stars Faye Emerson and Zach- 
ary Scott and opens on (date) 
at the Strand Theatre. 


But—what’s that? You say 
you’re not lucky enough to smell 
(Ist DAY) trouble when it’s brewing? Well, 
don’t fret! You can take solace 
in the fact that you’re not alone 


GINO -THE-HIDDEN 


a ‘i —far from it! Psychiatrists say 

€ = that civilization has rendered 

NGER : most of us incapable of recog- 
4 - oe nizing danger when it comes our 


way. And that’s exactly what 
Warner Bros.’ “Danger Signal” 
is about—and why it will have 
you gripping your seats from 
start to finish until its hero and 
heroine become aware of the 
hidden peril that surrounds 
them. 


So just as a starter, to make 
sure you miss none of the 
thrills and dangers that are 
rampant in “Danger Signal,” 
this newspaper today begins an 
exciting four-day contest which 
is fun to do and which will win 
you a pair of guest seats to the 
Strand. Here’s all you do: 

Look carefully at each day’s 
drawing and try to find the bad 
luck symbol hidden therein. 
Choose your answer from the 
list below and fill in on the line 
indicated, together with your 
name and address. Do this for 
all four pictures, then mail 
them, together with a 25-word- 
or-less letter stating why you 
think Faye Emerson and Zach- 
ary Scott deserve star billing in 
“Danger Signal,” to the Contest 
Editor of this newspaper. 


Good hunting and good luck! 


You should be able to find one 
of these unlucky symbols:

Faye’s A Typist In Film: 
Try These “Type” Stunts 


In her first starring role as Hilda Fenchurch 
in "Danger Signal," Faye Emerson por- 
trays an earnest and hardworking young 
public stenographer whose life is literally 
tied to a typewriter until the day she 
falls in love. Here are two special "type- 
writer’ stunts which can be tied in with 
your playdate by use of blow-ups of 


special office scene stills from the picture. 


TYPE PORTRAIT CONTEST 


Sponsor a one-day newspaper contest for 
the best typewriter-executed portrait of 
Faye Emerson or Zachary Scott. Ask con- 
testants to submit, along with the portraits, 
a 25-word or less letter stating why they 
think Faye Emerson and Zachary Scott 
have earned their star billing in “Danger 
Signal.’’ Award guest tickets to your play- 
date to a limited number of winners and 
arrange for the winning portraits to be 
published in your newspaper and also 
blown up for exhibit in your lobby, to- 


gether with the accompanying letters. 


GIRLS TYPE MESSAGES 


Arrange for a number of pretty girls to 
be seated at typewriters in a local store 
window, all typing short messages on tele- 
graph blanks which can be distributed 
to onlookers by another pretty girl. <A 


large sign can explain: 


“WARNING! Be ready for the ‘DANGER 
SIGNAL’! Read this message at your own 


risk!” 


In the event the girls do not know how to 
type, the typewritten messages can be pre- 
pared in advance and the public typing 
can be faked. The prepared message should 


read: 


“Watch out for Warner Bros.’ ‘DANGER 
SIGNAL,’ starring Faye Emerson and 
Zachary Scott, at the Strand Theatre 


Friday.” 





LATEST DESIGNS IN FUR STRESS LUXURIOUS SIMPLICITY 





FAYE EMERSON, who is starred in Warners’ current psychological drama, “Danger Signal,” models 
two new and attractive fur fashions. (Left) Three-quarter collarless leopard coat with wide shoulders, deep cuffs 
and rounded lapel closing. (Right) A rippling stole of luxurious wild mink. 


TRY THIS FINISH-THE-STORY CONTEST 
FOR LOCAL NEWSPAPERS AND SCHOOLS 


In “DANGER SIGNAL," an important point in story development is reached when 
Zachary Scott, as Ronnie Marsh, author, sells his first short story entitled "Dark 
Island."' It is a well-known fact that every one considers himself an embryonic story- 
writer with at least one good story within himself. Combine the two elements and 
assure yourself a wide and interested audience by sponsoring a newspaper or lobby- 
promoted contest for the best submitted ending to a short story plot entitled ''Dan- 
ger Signal." Offer guest seats to a limited number of winners with the winning 
endings published in the local paper or displayed in your lobby. If possible, arrange 
for a book-store tie-up with promoted book prizes in addition to guest seats for 
your playdate. If preferred, the contest can be slanted mainly at local schools 
and colleges with winners chosen from each school and a grand winner by final audi- 





ence ballot. 
Here's a sample story plot based on the film: 


Hilda Fenchurch (Faye Emerson) is a young, pretty, hard-working public stenogra- 
pher who supports her devoted mother and younger sister. When suave and charm- 
ing Ronnie Marsh (Zachary Scott) comes into her life, she falls deeply in love with him, 
promises she will marry him. But Ronnie suddenly begins to shower attention on 
Hilda’s young sister, who, flattered, returns his love. Hilda, frantic, determines to act 


at once to break up the romance. FINISH THE PLOT FROM HERE ON.

Latest Vitaphone Hits 


“GOOD OLD CORN” —really lays ‘em in the aisles! All the old Mack 
Sennett actors and gags have been assembled in two howl-packed reels 
that prove real top-notch comedy never grows old. Billy Bevan, Larry 
Semon, Marie Prevost and the rest still knock 'em cold, just as they used 
to do. 2104—Featurette—20 mins. 


“NASTY QUACKS”—features Daffy Duck in another gag-antic offer- 
ing. This time he finds himself about to be ousted from a comfortable 
home—and the things he does to keep in favor are literally a scream! 
In Technicolor, too. 1712—Merrie Melodies (Cartoon in Technicolor) 
—7 mins. 


“SPORTS GO TO WAR”—piles thrill on top of thrill as Canada's 
gallant men show just how they achieve such perfect physical fitness. 
LaCrosse, basketball, soccer, boxing and racing are but few of the 
sports highlighted. A perfect reel to liven up your program! 2501— 
Sports Parade (in Technicolor)—10 mins. 


“SO YOU THINK YOU’RE ALLERGIC’ —finds comical George 
O'Hanlon as bewildered Joe MacDoakes in another film in the side- 
splitting tradition of the other "So You Think" releases. They went 
over big—and this one promises to top all earlier efforts. A "must!" 
2404—Vitaphone Varieties—l0 mins. 


“MUSIC OF THE AMERICAS” —features popular Carlos Molina 
and his orchestra in as sizzling a reel as ever you've seen! Filled with 
pulsating Latin rhythms and plenty of production numbers, this is 
one film they'll all love! 2604—Melody Masters Bands—I0 mins. 


“FASHIONS FOR TOMORROW” —is the most auspicious opener 
of our new "Technicolor Adventure" series. Lovely Jean Parker and 
a group of Conover models show themselves off in some of the most 
eye-catching clothes the screen has ever shown. It's really terrific! 
280!—Technicolor Adventure Specials—10 mins.
